Kidney, now “small chin” 😰🤧

At first ultrasound it was just the kidney is measuring 4mm too big. So 2 mo this later went to recheck. It’s still too big. I chose not to stress over this, cause it’s just one thing and now that we know we can check it out after birth. Then they came at me with baby has “SMALL chin.” There’s a bigger scientific name for it. Anyway... Ive been crying and pouring over ultrasound pics. Cause now that’s 2 things “wrong”. And of course that’s the day everyone is rude in public and just all together crappy. I haven’t told hubby. Cause that kinda makes it TOO REAL. BTW, it was a fluke that I decided to have this little guy in a hospital, NOW there is going to be a pediatric TEAM there for the birth, cause having a “small chin” means trouble with Breathing and eating. Ive nursed all my babes and now I know they are also not going to have him chill on me after birth and will be taking him away. Which I’m NOt used to. I’ve had all my other kids by midwives in very chill births. I’m stressed the freak out by WANTING to have this baby just to set him up with a possible life time problems. 😰🤧 due 10–29-2018 I WILL make it to OCTOBER!!! ❤️

I’m 16 weeks and our baby was just diagnosed with Micrognathia. The MFM doctor suggested a amniocentesis which was completed on Thursday. My question is, did you have an amnio and did the results show any abnormalities? Waiting 2 weeks for the results has been absolute torture. I can’t help but think the worst...

I took the amnio and it came back negative for downs, trisomy 18 and Edwards syndrome . Then I took the test to test the rest of his chromosomes and that came back negative also. Now they want to do another test and another amnio but I don’t want to.

Your 3-month-old: Week 1

Your baby has been able to recognize you since he was just a few days old, but now he may actually be able to show it. About half of babies this age begin to exhibit an obvious recognition of their parents.

Your 3-month-old: Week 2

Babies simply love to be touched. In fact, they thrive on it - touch is a critical part of growth and development. All that skin-to-skin contact not only helps you and your baby bond, but it's comforting when she's upset and soothing when she's irritable.
